Terrorism has become the hot soupe du jour in many universities, dating back to 9/11. A variety of scholars from a wide range of academic fields – political science, psychology, international relations, history, and more – have devoted a lot of their time and energy to understanding and contributing to our collective knowledge of this scourge. Some have been at this for decades: Borealis speaks with one such veteran, Martha Crenshaw.
